Oral Picture: Eating at the Hawker Centre Setting: Hawker Centre

This picture depicts a scene depicts a scene of a hawker centre. There are shops that sell prawn noodles and chicken rice.
Scenario 1 – Normal
a) Describe what I see in the picture
There is a lady ordering some food from the chicken rice.
b) Personal Response
I feel that the chicken rice or the food that they sell seems to be very delicious.
(i) Comment on his action (Inferring)
From what I said in my personal response, the reason that I said that the food there seems to taste good as there is a wide smile spread across the customers.
Scenario 2 – Cause and effect
a) Describe what I see in the picture
A man who was serving drinks accidentally bangs into a table and spilled the drinks on a customer.
b) Personal Response
I feel doing is wrong .
(i) Comment on his action (Inferring)
He might hit someone.
(ii) Consequence
(What we see)
If that happens, the person that got hit might get badly injured. In this case, if the person that got hit was a customer, he or she would complain and I feel that it would not do the shop any good a t all as they might have to drop their standard. Thus, it would make more customers to think to think twice about going to that stall.
(iii) Suggestion to rectify the action
He should watch where he was going and be careful when he serves drinks.
Scenario 3 – Cause and effect
a) Describe what I see in the picture
A man who owns the prawn noodle opposite the Chicken rice stall. He looks very dull.
b) Personal Response
I feel that he is not very happy he is not receiving any customers to eat his food.
(ii) Consequence
(What we see)
If that happens, he would not be able to earn any money to support his family.
Inferring
I think that the food that he gives to the first few customers must have tasted awful.
(iii) Suggestion to rectify the action
He should try more receipts to make his food taste better. That way, he would attract more customers.
Scenario 4 –Normal
a) Describe what I see in the picture
I see a normal family sitting at a table and enjoying their food.
b) Personal Response
I feel doing is wrong as he might hit someone.

Inferring
They seem to be enjoying the food very much as they are jovial.
Conclusion
At a hawker whether we are a customer or a stall owner, we should watch our safety. We can all enjoy serving or eating food after that.
